Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In academic institutions worldwide, the call to decolonize the syllabus, curriculum, and the entire university experience is growing louder and more urgent. Yet, the conversation must extend beyond blogs, hashtags, and social media trends. This book dives deep into the critical need to challenge and transform the foundations of marketing education. Addressing the urgent need for deeper conversations, this book delves into the multifaceted process of decolonizing marketing theory and practice to foster a more inclusive field. Through an insightful collection of contributions, this book critically examines the entrenched roots of colonization, capitalism, and inequality, urging us to move beyond simply adding non-white authors and non-Western case studies to the curriculum. Decolonization should begin with a focus on inclusivity and equality, progressing towards the recognition and exploration of diverse contexts and paradigms.Through rigorous analysis and innovative perspectives, this book identifies key areas in marketing pedagogy that require decolonization, urging a move away from exclusionary practices and Western-centric ideologies. It identifies crucial areas where texts, knowledge, and contexts need to be decolonized, advocating for a paradigm shift from a culture of exclusion and Western-centric ideologies to one that embraces inclusivity and a broad range of philosophical perspectives from the non-Western world.Aimed at researchers and academics in the field of marketing, this book offers a profound exploration of teaching and learning dynamics from a more inclusive and diverse perspective. By fostering engagement with a wider audience, it seeks to enrich the discourse around marketing education with a more nuanced and enriched perspective. Decolonizing Marketing Theory and Practice is an essential resource for those committed to creating a more equitable and comprehensive understanding of marketing in a global context.
